I only respect laws designed to represent the interests of the citizenry as a whole--not the vested interests of one tiny class who bribed some politicians with campaign contributions.

You're right. It's not in the best interest of citizenry as a whole to have properly licensed and insured livery drivers. We're much better off when anyone with a smart phone and a car can provide taxi services.

Well they are insured and they do have a license, so I am not sure your point.

A public university does not have to support all forms of speech. When you go to that school you typically sign a document stating you will limit your behavious to a set appropriate of being in that institution, a code of conduct, and that is legally enforceable. You could say that like the military you sign away some of your rights when you go the school for the duration of time you are in the school.

When was the coldest February on record? Oh, you mean coldest for a small group of cities, not any particular state, region, country or the planet....However you have to also realize it was the hottest February on record for about the same number of cities on the west coast. So again, it is weather, not climate, you illiterate.

Actually, that is not even remotely correct. Deserts, and droughts, in cali are caused by cold ocean currents that drive rain elsewhere and the rainshadow effect. It is an odd double wammy with 2 the 3 deserts causing effect.

It has nothing to do with global cooling, however warming does make it worse because warmer air can hold more mositure and thus takes longer to saturate to the point of rainfall.

The otehr cause of the deserts being the land is too far inland for the moisture to consistently make it there.
